Mac OS X 10.8-iPod Video installation problem
kselby:
I am trying to install rockbox on my iPod Video. I am running os x mountain lion. I make sure my iPod is being used as a disk and I close iTunes. Whenever I try to do complete installation it says Could not open ipod: permission denied on three lines in a row. It says this whenever I try to install the bootloader also. It is FAT32 format. It says a similar thing when I am trying to install it manually. Any suggestions? P.S. I am new to this. Thanks.

Are you attempting this as a normal user, or administrator?

Could be related to this Gatekeeper thing, but I'm neither familiar with that nor do I have access to 10.8. Try running it using sudo and see if that helps.

I finally got it to start installing on my ipod since I am now running the app in root mode. However, now whenever I try to install anything it keeps saying: Could not open Ipod in R/W mode. Any idea why?
Update: Got it installed and everything works great.

Care to tell what the problem was to others can avoid the same problem?
